Ask us your Google Places for business questions<\/h3>\n

A little more than a year ago,\u00a0we collected<\/a>\u00a0your questions and feedback on Google Places for business via a Google Moderator page. You sent us some great feedback, and we had a blast responding! Check out our video responses\u00a0here on YouTube<\/a>, covering things like features of a listing, Report a problem and ranking.<\/p>\n

It’s important to us to continue hearing your great feedback \u2014 and we suspect you’ve had a lot of questions and ideas throughout the past year \u2014 so let’s fire up another Moderator page. Starting today and for the next two weeks, you can\u00a0submit your questions and ideas<\/a>, as well as vote up other submissions from users. We’ll answer some of the more popular questions directly on the page and post a new video or two to the\u00a0Google Places YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Start sharing your ideas<\/a>\u00a0right now, and stay tuned to us here on the Small Business Blog to see a roundup of responses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Whether this was in response to the NY Times article<\/a> earlier in the week or not is open to conjecture. The article has generated over 108 user comments<\/a> to date.<\/p>\n

Regardless, kudos to Google for picking tackling the problems <\/a>head on and working<\/strong> to improve Places more quickly.<\/p>\n

May I suggest that you post at both the NY Times Comment Section<\/a> and the Google Ask Us Your Places Question forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
